It wasn't long after that that Dr. Sanders came in and made it official:They needed to break my water.

I was about to cry again.

I was giving birth at seven months.

"No, it's not time yet!" I sobbed.

"IIt'll be alright." Jesse assured me.

"No! It'll be premature!" I screamed.

" Mrs. Swanson, just push." Dr. Sanders said, a tinge of annoyance in her voice.

I obeyed.

"Good!" She praised.

I couldn't believe I would be a Mommy today.

I wasn't ready, was I?

Two hours later, I heard our baby scream.

"It's a girl!" Dr. Sanders said.

I started crying tears of joy.

They laid her in my arms first.

"Hello there." I whispered.

She nestled up against my chest and I smiled.

No matter how early she was,she was worth it.
